Travellers leave Harrogate's Stray
A group of Travellers who set up camp on Harrogate’s Stray have now left.
Six caravans and several cars arrived on the section near to Oatlands Drive on Saturday.
It is thought that the Travellers were on their way to Appleby Horse Fair in Cumbria, which starts on Thursday.

Travellers also parked on the old rugby field at Knaresborough three days earlier and remain on site.
